weather channel
meteorologist
jim cantore
is in
boston
with more on that. jim, good evening.

>>good evening, lester. just as soon as the blizzard warnings for this storm go down, the new ones have come up for the
plains states
. six states here stretching all the way from kansas out up in through nebraska, including minnesota, minneapolis under a
winter storm warning
here. this area should start precipitation tonight in the rockies, and it should rapidly spread out of the
plains states
. as we get into sunday, though, you'll notice north damage to,
south dakota
, minnesota dealing with all of this snow. we are expecting 6 to 10 inches in minneapolis. 50 to 60-mile-per-hour winds. there will also be a severe side to this, too, lester. there could be tornadoes in louisiana, mississippi, and also in to alabama. as we move into monday, no rest for the weary up here. that same storm moves right overhead.
boston
, providence, hartford, portland, maine, who had a record-setting snowfall today, will not be dealing with snow this time, we feel it's going to be more of an
ice storm
here. so the second
big dig
here in
boston
, if you will, needs to be completed in
36 hours
, because on top of that, we've got a layer of ice to come.
